But the King's English is not what is spoken in America, or in much of
the world. The guiding reference "The King's English" was printed in
1906, some 20 years before the production of "Modern English Usage" in
the 1920s almost 100 years ago. "American English" has evolved some
since then. International or Business English has also evolved.
"Sick" meaning good has been in use since the 1980s and a roughly
similar meaning was around in the 1920s.
Wouldn't it be terrible if ham radio was associated with Pop culture.
Oh my! You might have to deal with young people! You know, like those
in their 60s.

Can I request that we try to stick to the king's English here?
Admittedly, we hams have our jargon, but lets limit our foray's into
today's "POP culture" terminology as much as we can.
Are we kool with that? Groovy !

K3 7956 is sick enough to score FT5ZM on 17CW/SSB, 20CW/SSB, 30CW,
40CW/SSB,
and 80CW, with 100w, inverted L and a cobwebb. Of course that's not to
say
any other 100watt radio wouldn't have worked them also but since we're
bragging up our K3s.....lol.
